    Twee's Prana Flow® Immersion + Teacher Training Retreats

    In Canggu + Ubud, Bali

    A personal note from Twee:

    Bali is my home away from home. After traveling and teaching yoga and living nomadically around the world for the last three years, I can undoubtedly say that Bali is one of those magical destinations on the planet that I call home. And for sure the best place (for me, a "surf yogi") to deepen my yoga practice and be in the Flow of the magic of life. And Desa Seni….well, it is the only place that I will have an extended stay when I am there. And now I am honored to invite you to join me "at home," to dive deeply into a week (or maybe even a a month) of Prana Flow® immersions and teacher trainings one or two times this year!

    Why Bali? It's pure magic! For sure, it's one of the energetic centers of our planet. Bali has a population recorded at almost 4million (in 2010), and the island is home to most of Indonesia's small Hindu minority, with nearly 93% of it's population adhering to Balinese Hinduism (closely reflecting Indian Hinduism). It is also the largest tourist destination in the country and is renowned for its highly developed arts, including dance, sculpture, painting, metalworking, and music. Two other things I love about Bali? The surf (of course) and the unlimited rituals and ceremonies to a higher Source throughout the day…reminds me that every day is a living prayer.

    Why Desa Seni? The friendliest staff on the island, organic gardens and gourmet meals, a salt water pool, exceptionally comfortable beds with cotton mosquito nets, traditional Javanese homes decorated exquisitely by the founders (and friends and yogis) Tom + Howard who hand-picked every antique piece in each unique home. They oversee every brilliant detail that makes this "artist village" such a magical eco-friendly haven. There's more!… natural enviro-conscious toiletries are available in every room, including shampoo, conditioner, soap, mosquito repellent, and lavendar mist….all are provided, along with unlimited water from large bottled water jugs in every room, fresh juices served with bamboo straws, every meal is served with linen napkins, every home has free wifi (even at the pool, café, and restaurant…but don't think of working too much, right?), access to unlimited and diverse styles of yoga classes (taught by resident teachers from around the globe) to enjoy in addition to our morning classes, and one of the most gorgeous open-air yoga studios, not just in Bali…..in the world!

    I have to warn you that you might not leave this village resort for the first few days (whether you stay at Desa Seni or come from another venue and enjoy the resort between classes and trainings)…but if you choose to, the staff will help you to arrange transport, money exchange, day trips to Ubud (cultural center of Bali), shopping, dining out, a visit to the local orphanage that Desa Seni supports, surf lessons, stand up paddle lessons, drumming circle, and so many more cultural experiences then I cannot even begin to list here. (Check out the photo gallery for optional activities) I've stayed in many resorts in my multiple trips to Bali…but once I discovered Desa Seni, I knew, without a doubt, I was home.

    And if you are joining us in March, please ask the Desa Seni staff about the discounted ticket prices for the BaliSpirit Festival where I will return to teach for the second year and enjoy live musical performances from talent around the planet. On March 20th, I strongly encourage you to support Desa Seni's first annual Yogathon, supporting local charities, as a closing event of our week together and as a transition towards the festival in Ubud.

    Join me "at home." Bali awaits your arrival. Close your eyes. Imagine it's possible. Ask for the means. And we will see you soon. That's how it happens in Bali…if you let go and let Goddess….magic appears around every corner.

    13-19 March, 2011 | Tending the Sacred Fire – Living Yoga Sadhana
    Desa Seni, Canggu

    Description:

    Within Tantra, Ayurveda, and Krisnamacharya's teachings of vinyasa, we thrive when we find the form of yoga practice that fuels, nourishes, and illumines what is needed to evolve our life. How do you practice when you are experiencing natural human emotions such as feeling stuck, overwhelmed, stressed, shut-down, bored, lethargic, mechanical, tense, etc., that inhibit the flow of yoga. All of these practical realities of adult life center around the metaphor of "tending the fire."

    Based on Shiva Rea's innovative 30-day Living Yoga Sadhana program, this immersion retreat will explore Four Paths of Practice: Bhakti (the power of love and devotion), Vira (awakening the fire of one's potential), Shakti (unleashing the creative power), and Shanti Sadhana (living peace) as ways of cultivating our inner light.

    Required Reading & Materials:

    • Read "The Direct Path: Creating a Personal Journey to the Divine Using the World's Spiritual Traditions" by Andrew Harvey
    • View and become familiar with Shiva Rea's DVD "Daily Energy - Vinyasa Flow Yoga"

    • What's an Immersion? Immersions serve students wanting to dive more deeply into their practice and into the Flow. Classes Only.
    • Samudra + Yoga Alliance Certification Program Eligibility. Twee is a senior trainer for Shiva Rea. All teacher training modules taught by Twee are applied towards Shiva Rea's Yoga Alliance accredited Prana Flow® Teacher Training Program. Trainings include all open level classes.
